I have a Digital 8 DCR-TRV130 please help!?

Question

The camera has a DV output slot, but my computer only has an IEEE 1394 and USB inputs. Can I get a firewire that goes between the DV and IEEE 1394? If so where/cost? HELP!!!

Answer 1

DV and IEEE1394 are different names for the same thing.

You need to get a firewire cable that has a 4-pin connection on one end for the camera, and either a four or six pin for the computer.   Look at the dv port and the Ieee1394 port, if they look the same size and shape they are both 4-pin, so buy a 4pin - 4pin firewire, if they are different shapes you need a 4pin-6pin.  Forget about USB.

Adobe Premiere will edit the footage.
